This is our third time staying at this property. It’s always a perfect experience. The hosts are on hand to greet you, they communicate well, and think of small details many other rentals don’t have. I always recommend Starr Mountain to friends and family.

Very cute place, loved the hot tub and the quietness, kids loved getting to have s'mores around the fire pit. The area diners were very friendly

Great Stay. Easy Check in and Out.
We had a great stay. Everything was excellent! Great pillows, lots of spices, plenty of towels! Be careful on the steps, they get very slick when wet!

Place was very comfortable, and had everything we needed. Beach towels for the hot tub were a nice touch, most places that we've stayed with hot tubs did not have this perk.

The cabin was the perfect size and very clean. It was close to all we wanted to do in the area.

Sat on the porch all weekend
Sitting on the porch, you are surrounded by trees and it does feel like a treehouse. Thunderstorms made it even better. Slept better than I have in a long time. Would like to know the mattress because I woke up with no back pain. We had a problem with the A/C but Brian responded to message immediately. Fixed it very quickly. We will be going back.
